08, Lerchenfelder Gürtel 29-32; 6pm-4am; Josefstädter Strasse, Thaliastrasse, 2
Josefstädter Strasse)
Chelsea is the old, ratty dog on the Gürtel and is very much a favourite of
the student/alternative scene. DJs spin loud sounds (usually indie, sometimes techno)

06, Linke Wienzeile 36; noon-2am Sun-Thu, to 3am Fri & Sat; ; Kettenbrückengasse)

(city wine taverns) in the city. Its garden is a barely controlled
green oasis among concrete residential blocks, and tables are squeezed in between the
trees and shrubs. Food is typical, with a buffet-style selection and plenty of cheap meats.
The friendly, well-liquored locals come free of charge.
The location is not well signposted; the only sign of its existence is a metal
Busch'n
hanging from a doorway.
WINE BAR
Europa
BAR, CAFE
(07, Zollergasse 8; 9am-5am; ; Neubaugasse)
A long-standing fixture of the 7th district,
Europa is a chilled spot any time day or night. During the sunny hours, join the relaxed
set at a window table for coffee and food, and in the evening take a pew at the bar and
